so you'd basically have to have a map from which you can get your x/y
clicking coordinates and map those coords to a lat/lon combo?

is that what ur trying to do?

if so, then you could reverse geocode that and get the
address/city/state/zip

but then you'd have to have some sort of spatial database with the ability
to reverse geocode.

Ok, but the problem is WHAT to put in the variable?
What I want to do is get rid of all these AREAs definitions in HTML.
When you have maps with tens of states, provinces, departments or whatever,
its a lot of work, and inaccurate.
If all these regions use a unique and specific color (easy to do in a gif
file), then it easy to get the region by its color.
